Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How can I get the windmill working?
1 of 17: It seems that the windmill isn't functioning. Take a look around (both inside and outside the windmill) and see what you can find.
2 of 17: The windmill apparently hasn't been used in some time, and it's rusty.
3 of 17: There seems to be an active point inside the windmill, near the top of the shaft.
4 of 17: But you can't get to it.
5 of 17: As Mina often says, "You'd need to be a monkey to get up there."
6 of 17: Good thing you've got a monkey!
7 of 17: Jep can climb up the shaft with no problem.
8 of 17: But he'll need to take something with him, if he's going to fix the problem.
9 of 17: What can Jep use to lubricate the windmill mechanism?
